I managed to snap off a tooth on a 2 3/8" titanium nitride coated HSS side milling blade. I've had that happen on the tip of a drill bit, but unlike a drill bit, this blade is $100 a pop and I want to figure out what caused it so I don't destroy it. I think I can get away with one tooth missing, but if I lose anymore, I'm afraid it's going to have to be replaced.
It has cutting edges on the tip and the beveled side on the right. It suddenly grabbed the material I was milling, stalled the machine and clipped a tooth.
Any idea what I might have done wrong, or is this something that's gonna happen no matter what?
